General manager Ron Hextall would still have some money left to sign a free-agent scoring forward, which he has said is his intention.

Rinaldo recently completed his fifth season in the Flyers organization. In 2014-15, he recorded a goal and five assists for six points in 58 games, along with 102 penalty minutes.

The 25-year-old Rinaldo was selected by the Flyers in the sixth round (178th overall) of the 2008 NHL Entry Draft and started his professional career in 2010 with the team's American Hockey League affiliate, then the Adirondack Phantoms.
